Skin grafts : local quest for viable alternatives to autologous grafts using silk and acellular dermal matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The gold standard with regards to skin transplantation is the use of the patient’s own skin obtained from a healthy donor site. Such grafts can be either full thickness skin or more commonly nowadays, split thickness skin.

Phosphorylated silk fibroin matrix for methotrexate release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Silk-based matrix was produced for delivery of a model anticancer drug, methotrexate (MTX). The calculation of net charge of silk fibroin and MTX was performed to better understand the electrostatic interactions during matrix formation upon casting. Silk

Recent innovations in silk biomaterials

open access: yes, 2010
Silk contains a fibre forming protein, fibroin, which is biocompatible, particularly after removing the potentially immunogenic non-fibroin proteins. Silk can be engineered into a wide range of materials with diverse morphologies.

Production of silk sericin/silk fibroin blend nanofibers [PDF]

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2011
Abstract Silk sericin (SS)/silk fibroin (SF) blend nanofibers have been produced by electrospinning in a binary SS/SF trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) solution system, which was prepared by mixing 20 wt.% SS TFA solution and 10 wt.% SF TFA solution to give different compositions.
